5 bedroom house for sale

Glebe House is an attractive semi-rural residence which offers over 2500 sq. ft of versatile, light and airy accommodation, with a pleasing open ambience. On entering, beautiful classic stone tiling in the vestibule presents a heartwarming arrival, with a spot to cast off and store outdoor wear and a glazed door to the reception hall. Generously-proportioned and with a double-aspect, the drawing room is centred around a log-burner, whilst the adjacent flexible-use study features parquet flooring and would provide an excellent refuge for a home worker. A family room to the opposite aspect of the internal layout, offers an alternative quiet space to relax, as well as options for use as a music room or children’s playroom. Filled with natural light, the sleek kitchen and interconnecting dining room provide a convivial setting with a sunny southerly outlook and French doors to the garden, whilst ancillary space is offered by the adjoining utility room. The roomy landing on the first floor gives access to five rooms and a family bathroom, with the upper level accommodation enjoying elevated vistas over the surrounding landscape. The spacious principal bedroom offers a luxurious retreat with a large en suite featuring a freestanding, claw-foot tub and a corner shower cubicle.

A timber five-bar gate marks the access point onto a swathe of gravelled driveway at the home’s front with the garage outbuilding alongside. The mature, wrap-around garden at Glebe House offers an outdoor haven with beds containing colourful mature shrubs and perennial plants, and expanses of lawn interspersed with specimen trees. Timber postand-rail fencing at the rear margin is adorned with espalier trees and affords an outlook to the rural terrain beyond the plot, whilst the side of the home has a view across to the parish church. Paved terraces offer opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation and a large workshop provides storage and/or a handicraft outbuilding.
